Track ProcFu App Logins

Keeping track of user logins is essential for security and auditing purposes. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to implement a login tracker for your app using Podio or InfoLobby.

Step 1: Set Up Your App

Create a simple app in Podio or InfoLobby to log user logins. Ensure you include the following fields:

• User Field: A relationship field connected to the user table used for authentication.
• Date and Time Field: This will capture the login timestamp.
• Feel free to add any additional fields you find necessary.

Step 2: Gather App and Field IDs

Retrieve the app ID and the external IDs of the fields you'll be using to log user data.

Step 3: Implement the Code

In the Auth Success event of your ProcFu app, insert the following code snippet. This code utilizes ProcFu's podio_item_create function to create a log entry for each successful login.

// Adjust the server date and time to your desired timezone by adding the necessary hours.

$your_datetime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+6 hours')); 
$fields = ["user" => $auth_item["item_id"], "login-date-time" => $your_datetime];
podio_item_create(29973898, $fields, 0, 0);

And that’s it! With these steps, all user logins will be successfully recorded in your login tracker.
